| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a highly detailed anatomical skeletal rendering of the Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) in dynamic low-crouching pose, with the skull depicted open-jawed to the left, exposing the species' characteristic powerful dentition. The skeleton is shown in three-quarter perspective against a frosted field divided by a vertical line, with a polished silhouette map of Australia visible in the lower right portion of the field. A rectangular label cartouche in the lower centre bears the inscriptions 'TASMANIAN DEVIL' and the Latin binomial 'Sarcophilus harrisii'. The denomination '5 DOLLARS' appears at the top of the field in bold numerals and lettering, and the Royal Australian Mint's mintmark is visible near the skeleton. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) has faced genuine extinction pressure since the late 1990s, when devil facial tumor disease — a rare transmissible cancer spread through biting — began devastating wild populations. Numbers dropped by over 80% before coordinated breeding programs and a disease-free insurance population on mainland Australia stabilized the species. The coin's release in 2020 coincided with ongoing conservation efforts that had, by that point, reintroduced disease-free animals to Tasmanian reserves for the first time in decades.
The sixth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark, was introduced to Australian coinage in 2019.
